Sentinel-1A radar swaths and product density generated for the Greenland observation campaign that took place in January–March 2015. This represents about 750 Single Look Complex (SLC) scenes of size 250 x 190 km, in the ‘interferometric wide swath’ mode. In addition, to this campaign, the Greenland ice sheet margins are systematically observed every 12 days by selected satellite passes. The total number of SLC scenes over Greenland, openly and freely available to scientists worldwide, exceeds 1300, and are a cumulative radar operation time of more than nine hours.
